Well, I thought I was done but it's too tempting to not say something. You do have a good point. Should the government make that decision to give to others or should it be left to each individual? I don't think tax cuts given to people that make less should be considered as not working hard. I think there are many who do work extremely hard but just get paid less for it.
I don't mean to pick on your personally, but your original comment indicated you felt that people that make more money should be paying *more* taxes than they are already paying. They are already paying more now! Not just in dollar amount but percentage. How much taxes should the rich pay? 40%, 50%, 70%? What would be enough? Doesn't that take away any incentive to to excel? I'm all for lower taxes that's for sure. If the government didn't waste our money on silly entitlements, welfare, and bailouts we would probably be in great shape. I wish I were making a lot more than I do but its just fact of a free society that some people are going to make a lot and some aren't. I don't hold it against those people though and don't feel its right to punish them for their success.
would 104% be enough!?? thats what it went to before Sweden realized hoe wrong it was...Ingemar Bergman ,among others, left the country... you`d think over 100% wuld be too much! you read it correctly , they taxed at 104%, !!
